KAUA'I SENIOR SOFTBALL ASSOCIATION

 

East Kaua'i Senior Softball Club is a member of the Kaua'i Senior Softball Association.  There are currently a total of 14 teams with home fields located around the island, from our location in Kapaa on the east side all the way around to Hanepepe and Kaumakani on the west side.  We play with the 14" softball (standard in Hawaiian Senior Softball).   

player qualifications

All PEOPLE aged 55 or better are eligible to play, but teams can only play one player under 60 at a time. This is a competitive league - evaluation of talent level will occur.

  safety first

Since we don't heal as quickly any more as we once did, safety is a major concern.  For that reason, both Home and First Base have a secondary "runner's base" to avoid collisions.  Base runners can run past bases for the same reason. 

game day

All games are played on Saturdays, from January thru July.  A State Tournament is played the first week of August - usually around 60 teams in total.  Location of the tournament rotates among the 4 main islands.  This year the tournament was held on Kauai.  

ohana

Softball is at the center of what brings us together, but the ohana - "family spirit" - is what the League is really all about.  Everyone looks forward to seeing the players on the other teams and the many extended family members that attend the games.  Did I mention eating???  Potlucks after the games are the norm, rather than the exception.  With the wide variety of ethnic backgrounds present on the island, all kinds of food are shared.
